Terminal not displaying UTF-8 character(s)

  • 772

I have changed my bash prompt in ~/.bashrc and have verified my character encoding is set to UTF-8. I am using the monospace font and Ubuntu 14.04.

Here is my ~/.bashrc

This is what I am getting for the black right triangle:

    For those that get that strange invalid unicode character for the arrow, edit the following line:

    local BRPT=$(echo -e "\xee\x82\xb0")        #UTF 8 Black Right pointing triangle

    All is right with the world now. Also, fonts that go well with this can be found at powerline fonts
